RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

When docker is started, it likely does something to chronyd which leads to chrony-helper invocation. That produces AVC denials.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

docker-1.12.6-61.git85d7426.el7.x86_64
chrony-3.2-1.el7.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.13.1-175.el7.noarch

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install docker from Extras.
2. systemctl start docker
3. Check audit.log

Actual results:

type=AVC msg=audit(1509545489.744:85): avc:  denied  { execute_no_trans } for  pid=13062 comm="chrony-helper" path="/usr/bin/chronyc" dev="dm-0" ino=283534 scontext=system_u:system_r:chronyd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:chronyc_exec_t:s0 tclass=file

Expected results:

No AVC denial.

Additional info:

I believe this is RHEL version of Fedora bug 1507478.

On RHEL 7.5, I see

# ls -laZ /usr/bin/chronyc
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:chronyc_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/chronyc

On RHEL 7.4 with selinux-policy-3.13.1-166.el7_4.5.noarch, there is

# ls -laZ /usr/bin/chronyc
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0       /usr/bin/chronyc

Jan, 

You're right. This should be fixed in RHEL-7.5. Adding devel_ack+. 

Thanks,
Lukas.
